Comment on No changes to Habs lineup against Lightning (2015-01-06 15:24:42)Wow! I remember the game vividly. Not only was Pedro perfect until then, it was on an 0-2 count that he hit Sanders. I was sitting behind the Reds dug out and screamed at Davey Johnson something along the lines of "what idiot would give up a perfect game on purpose- teach Sanders how to play!" I seem to recall Johnson nodded in agreement on the way back to the bench.

Comment on About last night … (2014-11-12 05:24:23)Repost from another board - response to a poster who said couldn't make sense of math re Moen/Gonchar trade and then suggested Gonchar would be playing for old timers next year.
"Don't really care, as it won't be the Habs' oldtimers. More likely he will be moved before trade deadline as part of a package (and if he can get PP producing before then, will fetch at least another draft pick.) Finally (definitely part of upside), Bergeron has done Dallas (sounds like his name should be Debbie, but I digress at 01:45 local time) a favour in helping them clear current cap space and sending them a vet who is defensively responsible/actually has a work ethic that partially compensates for diminished skill set. Dallas will not forget, given their problems (all skill; no heart - all hat; no cattle!)"

Comment on About last night … (2014-04-06 03:37:50)Sympathise, as I live in Eastern Europe and generally have to stay up until 2 to 5 a.m. to watch my beloved Habs (+7 hrs diff.) I've learned to hate the 19:30 EST starts and really detest the special pre-game ceremonies. Not only do they mess with player routines and usually mean for a flat start to the game, they cost me another 20 minutes of beauty sleep!
